This is not as big a drop as Aira Force but I do prefer this one over it. With a short dash over some rocks and tree roots, you can get some cracking photos. It is on the trail on the way up to the summit of Gowbarrow Fell.

Beautiful. Ideal place for a relaxing walk, enjoying the water in good weather and viewing the power of water, waterfalls and rapids.
